April Theme Day: RED

'Red Independent Heart' by Joana Vasconcelos

*

This HUGE heart is now part of a group of three hanging and rotating in a black circular room at the CCB. All hearts (red, golden and black) are made of twisted plastic forks and knives, based on the gold filigree pendant traditionally handicrafted in the city of Viana do Castelo, northern Portugal.

What an absolute gem ! I think your photo is one of the best so far on today's theme. And how creative of the artist to use plastic knives and forks, I thought it was glass!I hope the art piece withstands the test of time, it's the only thing that worries me!
